Facebook Fast

Facebook has taken over the world.  You can't go on any website without seeing the facebook symbol for you to "like" whatever page you are on.  It is the new source of world news, engagement annoucements, news of pregnancies, who's with who, and how much ppl either love or hate their life.  Once I became a professional I deleted a lot of pictures, simplified my profile, and only posted positive statuses, quotes or big news.  I think I've kept up with that pretty well (or at least I hope!) :) 

I admit that I spend a little way too much time on facebook.  I don't think it's mentally or emotionally healthy to be so consumed with it.  During my long run today I decided that I am going on a facebook fast.  I stayed off for a month, two summers ago and I know it won't be a problem staying off.  My fast is going to be until Sept 1st.  No reason why I chose September 1st; really just an arbitrary date.  Oh what will I do with all that free time?? :-P  Possibly learn to play the ukelele??  I just might..... :)          
This pink one is pretty sweet, lah??

    Hi Julie

    I just heard that the ukelele is the upcoming instrument to learn. For exactly the reasons you said - portable and inexpensive. You go for it girl. I expect to hear you play when you come back to the states. Eileen

    PS - I am not really anonymous just don't know how else to post. It is your favorite Aunt - Eileen, haha
